Despite what a CNN citizen journalist reported, Apple’s Steve Jobs did not have a heart attack last night. An Apple rep has denied the report. Steve is alive and well.
The original report, which has now since been removed, was as follows:
Steve Jobs was rushed to the ER just a few hours ago after suffering a major heart attack. I have an insider who tells me that paramedics were called after Steve claimed to be suffering from severe chest pains and shortness of breath. My source has opted to remain anonymous, but he is quite reliable. I haven’t seen anything about this anywhere else yet, and as of right now, I have no further information, so I thought this would be a good place to start. If anyone else has more information, please share it.
Apple’s stock tanked as the rumor was making the Twitter rounds.
But to reiterate, Steve is fine.

Hmm, maybe letting “citizen journalists” report on a major news network is an irresponsible practice. But in fairness, who could have possibly predicted something like this happening…

Didn’t he die a bunch of times already? I think he’s a cylon!

He’s probably the last cylon for all we know.

Because God forbid the Dear Leader is actually dead, right?
I hope he is fine, I hope he has more years to come to give to his family and friends, I hope he starts selling OSX to all of us non-Apple-sanctioned PC users (yeah, macs are pc too).
